Cyfora race in Melaka

This post has long been overdue ... haha, only because I've been busy working. Well, life as a pupil has not been that bad as yet ... Slightly better than I expected. But then again, apparently it's because we only have a month and the lawyers can't really give us that much work because soon enough, we'll be gone for PLC again. And it's only been 3 days since I started. Killer period will be when we return for the next 5 mths :P

Nonetheless, I feel that I've so much less time left to do anything and I only have some free time today because it's a public holiday. Even then, I need to go shopping for more comfortable shoes and more working clothes ... Anyway, looking forward to many more public holidays in the future ..

On another note, went to Melaka last Sun to watch Sweetie race!! It was my 1st time watching and it was really interesting ... especially because I was able to sit in the support car which followed the cyclists around. Most interesting part of course, was the last part approaching the finishing line. 1st group in front that broke away had say ... about 10 pple? And because Sweetie was in that group, we followed it ... cheering all the way!!! He ultimately came in 4th ... but he should have been first!!! Poorly organised and marshalled race ... poor dear~ Started sprinting too early (i.e., going all out which they do sometime near the finishing line) because there was still a huge roundabout (unknown to him) to go around instead of going straight to the finishing line .. that's when the other 3 overtook him. :P But well done!!! *hugz* Proud of him.

JustinA, him, Eddie
Many thanks to JustinA for driving his car up. I drove them back in his car after the race *grinz*

Heh, and for all those who know how lazy I am ... surprise surprise, I got a new road bicycle. Haha, I'm going to take cycling up!!! Eh, but it's seriously scary .. I got horned once last night while TRYING to cycle at 10+ pm. I panicked and felt damn scared ... some huge truck/lorry/cement mixer whatever ... Heellllllo, it was a 3 lane road and sweetie and I were taking the left most lane .. WHY did he want to squeeze with us?? The road was empty!!! But the wind blowing against you is just great :)

Note: the elite/procyclists of course cycle mostly in single file close to the pavement so that cars can actually still share the same lane with them. But I am unstable and lousy so sweetie cycled BESIDE me on the right and we took up 1 lane so that no vehicle would knock me by "accident". We have a right to though, seeing that it's illegal to cycle on pavements. :|

Video of him in action coming up!! -
